PLZ continue being a nonconformist weirdo. I'm a nonconformist weirdo, too, and I do not wish to be anything else. Don't ever stop being strange (unless it turns out that your strangeness is interpersonally destructive... which it doesn't appear to be).
In my observations, I've always found that "normalcy" is a FAR more interpersonally destructive a force than strangeness ever was.
The Nazis could not have commited half the atrocities they did without the consent of many, many conformists.
PS: I'm not saying that all conformists are Nazis or anything. (That's untrue.) All I'm saying is: the Nazis couldn't have "pulled off" the holocaust were it not for the support of numerous conformists who were fed a line of dogma about the Jews and accepted it without question.
This isn't to say that Rob's views are accurate. (Maybe they are. Maybe they aren't.) The key point here is: views that challenge the status quo, whether right or wrong, are infinitely more valuable than views that confirm social biases.

PS: Come debate ethics with me again!
